Ilkley Harriers Trail Race

The Ilkley Harriers Trail Race made its inaugural appearance on the race calendar in 2008.
The 6.9 mile out-and-back route takes in tracks through woodland, fields and moors, interspersed with some short road sections.
Virtually all of the climb is on the way out, but runners will be reinvigorated by the views over the Wharfe Valley and across to Ilkley Moor when they hit the moorland on the top, for a very fast second half of the race.

Junior ResultsNever mind the rain we all had great fun on the field and in the woods at the 3rd Ilkley Harriers Junior Trail Race.
It is a lot of responsibility running junior races but seeing 70 kids out, enjoying their running, getting muddy, makes it all worthwhile.
It couldn’t happen without the help of marshals so a big thank you to everyone. A special thank you to our junior helpers,
Naomi Elliott, Anna Sinclair, Sam Hopkinson-Cook and Henry Websdale who all took on roles of responsibility.
It’s good to see the next generation so willing to help, ready to take over when we are too old! See you all next year for more fun – Bryan and Rachel Websdale.
